Rodgers had just directed an 80-yard touchdown drive to move within a touchdown, and the Packers had four stoppages - three timeouts plus the 2-minute warning - to pull off what would have been a glorious comeback. What happened next was pathetic. The Chiefs (6-8), having lost five of their last six under Todd Haley, proceeded to run Thomas Jones twice for 13 yards and one first down and then Jackie Battle twice for 19 yards and another. Three kneel-downs later, McCarthy was setting sail across the field to shake hands with coach Romeo Crennel. "We saw things on film," fullback Le'Ron McClain said. "We saw teams score points on their defense. We felt we could wear them down." So the Chiefs piled up a season-high 438 yards (139 rushing) and 23 first downs, and kept the Packers offense off the field for most of the game.</blockquote>
